Lunar eclipse | 26 May 2021
Blood Moon. A total eclipse of the moon coinciding with lunar perigee – a so-called super moon.
Another shot of totality.
Earlier, shortly after the onset of the partial phase of the eclipse.
Later in the partial phase as the moon moves further into the umbral shadow.
Later still in the first partial phase.
Just a few minutes before the onset of totality at the end of the first partial phase.
